RESEARCH AGENDA · IN DEVELOPMENT

Asylum and protection

How can we understand the encounter between displaced people and the systems intended to offer protection?

We want to explore how protection is understood, organised and experienced. The agenda encompasses language, evidence and people’s encounters with institutions. This is a developing academic direction, not a list of active projects.

Explore the conflict contexts behind these research questions. ↗
